For a fairer comparison of Legge’s achievement – and he has still has at least three more games to add to his number – you really have to go back to Steve Fallon.

Fallon also notched eight for United during the 1977/78 Division Three (now League One) season, but just as with Legge, all came from the centre-half being in the right place at the right time.

Notably, both Kimble and Fallon’s goal hauls helped United clinch promotion, the latter’s header six minutes from time actually sealing the deal in a crucial 2-1 win at home to Exeter in the final game of the campaign.

It would be terrific if Legge’s goal feat proved to be a similar omen for the U’s.
